in recent years, headphones have transformed from being a simple personal music gear into a fashion statement. case in point: the new Monster Turbine Pearl In-Ear Speakers with Control Talk. styled in the familiar Monster Turbine design with a pearl-color paint job accented with chrome details, this new Monster Turbine buds features the Monster SuperTips in a series of shapes and sizes to give an ideal fit for your ears. it is not just another silicone bud that goes into your ear, the SuperTips is touted to create a superb acoustic chamber in your ears “that seals your music in and noise out.”

the Turbine Pearl also sports Monster’s Control Talk, which basically is an in-line remote with built-in mic for handsfree calling and also lets you control your music. the Control Talk sits along the line of a tangle-resistant cable. it come packaged with two luxurious protective carrying cases for those on the go needs. the Monster Turbine In-Ear Speakers cost $229.95 a pop, which i thought is nearing to the ‘high-end’ audio price range. however, if you have a penchant for fashion-statement and comfort fit, perhaps this is one for your consideration.
